Well once through the canal we motored on down to
Ormos Vlikho a large well sheltered anchorage where it seems quite a few boats
are left at anchor over the winter!!
We haven't seen so many boats in one area for quite
some time.Holding is deemed very good here so we anchored just off the
shore a short dinghy ride from the town of Nidri.We have heard that there is a
good steel workshop here so we will investigate tomorrow.
17th September
We have discovered a very large Dutch and English
community here and it is a sailors haven with all the chandlery shops dotted
everywhere.A nice Greek chap who spoke really good English told us that we
could find Phil the steel worker on the edge of town. After a little bit of a
dusty walk we managed to locate the workshop and everything looks promising as
Phil seemed to think that it would not be too difficult a job but we need
to bring the bow roller to him ,so Mark knows what he will be doing for the next
few days!!!
Had a good look around the town to find lots of
internet cafes and 'hotspots' so will be able to catch up with Blogg.Marks
Birthday tomorrow so trying to find a nice local restaurant not too far from the
boat.Found a really charming one across the bay from us where we had a cool
drink and enjoyed the scenery.Hanging above us were all these vines and the
owner informed us that he makes his own wine.September is getting ready for
the harvesting of the grapes.
   Fabulous view from our table |
